I would go to a baby shower for a teen in a heart beat. Having a baby is so hard, being a teen is only going to make it harder. Why not try and help that baby have a chance at a better start? What harm is there in providing some diapers and clothes for a baby in need?

The shower is to celebrate the baby not "reward the mom" I'm 18 and I had a shower..mind you I didn't register anywhere and it clearly said on all the invitations etc that bringing a gift was optional and the suggestions I gave were diapers wipes etc, purely practical things.

One of the main reasons I had the shower was so my son could look back on the pictures of it and see how excited and happy we were to be expecting him. I don't see anything wrong with that. He didn't ask to be born to teenage parents, he deserves as much celebration as any other child.
